-That's great. If you don't have any of the above problems there is no need to change the affinity. Also, in some cases changing the affinity may CAUSE performance and instability problems. If things get worse after following the above guide, just re-tick the boxes.

 ===Cause===
-This is because the game may have compatibility issues with some multi-core CPUs. TS2 can not make use of multi-core (dual, quad, etc) technology, so not only is there no performance boost with dual core CPUs, but there may be issues which require the following steps to be resolved...
